Gen. Flynn Trial in Tampa- U.S. Govt wants a change of venue to DC, worried can't get a fair trial

2023-05-04

General Flynn is suing the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the US government for $50 million, citing malicious prosecution and gross abuse of power. The case against Flynn was dropped by the DOJ but was pursued by Judge Emmet Sullivan for months. Flynn was eventually pardoned by President Trump.

[UncoverDC] The USG doesn’t want the General Michael Flynn case to be heard in Florida. The government has filed a 22-page motion to change the venue to DC.

Just my personal opinion, this is a long shot motion, and I really think they know it. They are forced to concede he has the absolute standing to bring this in the “place where he resides” but are about to use several pages to talk about why that should be ignored because everything *happened* in DC.

The government argues that the Florida court doesn’t have subpoena power over the “non-party witnesses;” People like Comey, Strzok, etc., and therefore if the court goes to trial, it would be much harder to get them to testify as witnesses. It would also be more convenient for THEM if they didn’t have to travel… Just wait.
